E                
A promise or a dare
C#m               B
I would jump if i knew you'd catch me
E                   
Staring over the edge
C#m                    B
I can't tell if you'll be here for me

A
I close my eyes and make a wish
E
Turn out the lights and take a breath
D
Pray that when the wick is burned
A                                 E
You would say that it's all about love


Chorus:

E                     D
You were there when I needed you
A                                   E
You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open
E                     D
You were there when I needed you
A                                   E
You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open
E          C#m       B
You were never here

E
I remember you said
C#m                     B
Love was more than just good intentions

A
Empty boxes on the floor
E
Things I've never asked you for
D
I pray that when the wick is burned
A                                 E
You would say that it's all about love


[Repeat Chorus]

D                   A
And I can't see the promise of
E                 F#
Excuses you fall upon
     D               A
So I pray to God not holding on
   B
To things you left undone

C D F# A C D E D A E

[Repeat Chorus 2x]

E
You were there when I
D
You were there when I
A                     E
You were there when I needed
